Laser Assisted Electrical Contacting in Multifunctional GF/PP Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The electrical contacting of an embedded sensoryarn in a unidirectional glass fiber polypropylene (GF/PP) composite realizedby laser processing was investigated. It was shown that compared to thecircular drilled hole the same electrical contacting quality can be achieved atan increased mechanical performance level.
